There are many farmers who seem
not to realize how much they lose during
the year that little forethought would
prevent. They will admit that the way
in which they feed u certain lot of pigs.
for instance, wastes some Of the food,
but appear to think that the loss is SO
little each day that it does not amount
to any thing. They would be surprised
If they should ascertain how large q
sum represents at the end Of the year
the total Of these small losses each day.
Providing better feeding place to save
the food wasted. and giving better
shelter that will effect . saving in the
amount required to keep the pigs gain

ut the beginning of the decorative art

him. He was considerable of an artist
as well as an engraver. He went in
and proposed to the proprietor to take
some of the shells and paint q little
landscape in each and scn them for
mantel ornaments. The shrewd old
proprietor said that the thing would
catch the popular fancy and finally ar
ranged to pay 81 apiece for painting
them. They took dozen of the shells
home and the pictures suited the old
man. The shell painting had q great
sale. and in the next three months the
artists made q little over $l.2OO. and

Not . Pleasant Experience.

A well known west countryman, who was
in Newcastle a few nights ago, having lost his
train, returned to the public house where
he had been imbibing an extra dose Of liquor,
and secured bed for the night. A candle
was handed to him, and he was directed to
his room; but being somewhat ''fou" his
unsteadiness OF gait jerked the candle out
Of its socket, and he was thus left in dark
ness He stumbled on till he found a bed
room-though not his own Doffing his gar
ments, he CROPPED about successfully for the
bed, but found that it already acconmo-
dated another lcdger. He felt that his bed
fellow was q more than usually ''cold sub
iect" Man said he, ''ye're as cold as
clay; yer feet's like icebergs." He contin-
ued to push his uncomfortable neighbor
along till the latter fell out of bed altogether.
There, noo," exclaimed our hero, ''ye can
lie there" He soon fell sound asleep.
Next morning he was awakened by the
noise Of two stalwart men fumbling with
the handle Of this bedroom door, and then
noisily entered with a coffin. The indignant
corpse suddenly sat up and demanded to
know why he had been disturbed. This was
too much for the two joiners, who dropped
the coffin and fed. The sight of the coffin
reminded our hero of his bedfellow. He
looked over at him for a moment, and then
realized that his fellow lodger was a corpse
He jumped out Of bed, hastily snatched up
his garments. and rushed from the house,
half dressed, TO complete his toilet under the
portico of the Central station.

Not "Docked" for Sickness.

A New York correspondent writes that it
was Henry J. Raymond who began the
practice of paying his men full salaries when
disabled. While reporting on The Tribune
he contracted a severe cold in the line of
duty 1t was a month before he left his
bed. On his return TO the Office he found
that Mr.. McElrath had stopped his pay
from the moment that he was unable to
work. This touched him 10 the soul, for
he sadly needed the money. He made up
his mind that he would adopt a different
rule if he ever had charge of a newspaper

A tumultous noise of bugles, braying

the morning after my arrival from Corinth.

of the deepest blue. there was nothing more

were tram cars IN the street and hackney
coaches and produce carts drawn by mules
or asses. Both pavemcnts were thronged
with pedestrians, military and civilian, mer-
chants, Albanians countrymen, and for
eigners. Newsboys rustled their sheets under
the noses Of the paSsersby: "Ultimatum

from those who were content to ohear the
news philosophically, without paying for it,
and coppers from others. At the corners
sat elderly women, lean and yellow, with
little tables Of confectionery, pens, ink and
paper, and a Greek boy, hurrying to
school, would now and again pay his half

Hydrostatic vans did what they could to lay

ton of hopeless debility. The means are
at hand. In the form of a genial medicinal
cordial, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters EN-
bodies the combined qualities of a blood
fertilizer and depurent. toliic and an
alternative. While il promotes digestion,
and assimilation, and stimulates appetite,
has the further effect of purifying the life
current and Strengthening the nervous
system. As the blood grows richer and
purer by its use, they who resort to this
sterling medicinal agent acquire not only
vigor, but bodily substance. A healthfuI
change in the secretions is effected by it,
and that sure and rapid physical decay,
which a chronic obstruction of the func-
tions of the system produces. is arrested.
The prime causes of disease being removed,
health is speedily renovated and yigor re-
stored.
